Simple white canvases above my bed. I never really thought too much about these canvases until my cousin mentioned they were his favorite pieces of art in my apartment. “Art?” What was once an unsuccessful attempt to make jewelry displays later became an inexpensive way to fill the space above my bed.

With a lull in the day I thought I might follow up with the rest of the studio tour. Here it goes:This is a big empty frame that hangs above my computer desk. I simply taped a piece of fancy paper from Paper Source and started adding things on top of that almost as if [...]
